Comment 72 for bug 311869

My current netbook came with a Sentelic touchpad included. Most of the time Ubuntu Lucid is able to grok it, however sometimes it goes back to ramdom jumpiness and clicks.

The last episode happened today, when my netbook ran out of battery and suspended. I, immediately, plug it back and turned it on to find the touchpad all jumpy.

Not wanting to invest too much time into it, i chose to just restart it hoping th e kernel modules would just work then. They didn't, so I plugged my emergency usb mouse and did some log reading. Every time the mouse pointer goes jumpy "psmouse.c: FingerSensingPad at isa0060/serio2/input0 lost synchronization, throwing X bytes away" is logged.
